Air Fryer Poached Eggs on Garlicky Mushroom Toast delivers rich flavour with very little fuss. Steam in the basket keeps the eggs tender while the pan-fried mushrooms bring deep savoury notes.

It is quick enough for a midweek meal but special enough for a relaxed weekend brunch. Serve immediately so the yolks stay silky and the toast stays crisp.

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Lightly grease 4 silicone muffin cups with olive oil and crack 1 egg into each cup.

  2. Place the cups in the basket and carefully pour in 300 ml boiling water around (not into) the cups to create steam.

  3. Air fry for 5-7 minutes for soft yolks (or 8 minutes for firmer yolks), checking from 5 minutes as models vary.

  4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and their moisture cooks off.

  5. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper.

  6. Toast the bread until crisp and golden. Spoon mushrooms onto toast, top with the poached eggs, then serve immediately.
